Will check it tonight. It looks like there is room for two 60mm fans up front. Could probably install them there reduce the noise a bit by using a slower speed.
Might want to note for those looking at the 1300w PSU to convert, it requires a IEC-320-C19 type power cord. Seeing as I work in IT, I have a bazillion of these things laying around for servers so its no big deal. But if you don't, and are thinking of using this PSU you'll need to visit a store and get a C19 power cord. Standard ATX power cords will not work.

Works just fine!
Now, if I only had a good charger to really place a load on it. But I'm going to bet it'll work fine.

I thought it was loud when I started it up, but when I tripped the 3 wires together it got REALLY loud.
Must look into building a "case" for it and using larger, lower speed but higher volume fans.
